BEOWULF
BEOWULF is an epic poem set in prose celebrating the legendary exploits of Beowulf, a noble and fearless hero that earned great glory, fortune and fame defending Hrothgar's Kingdom from murdering monsters.
The book was originally untitled but was later named after the main protagonist. The author is unknown, and the work is thought to have originated in Germanic culture from the 6th Century, perhaps as late as the 8th Century -- However, this may be a compilation and retelling of much older oral traditions which would explain the missing attribution.
Beowulf is in the public domain and is a favorite at Hubbub.

Read by Trevor Eaton, 1996
00:00 - Line 2200 - After Hygelac dies, Beowulf reigns for 50 years; Then the dragon came; An outlaw found the hoard which the dragon had claimed; The finder was amazed; Many years earlier, the hider of the jewels had lamented his loneliness; The hider then died; The dragon found the hoard and began to guard it; The finder steals a goblet from the dragon; Then the hoard is raided; The dragon wakes and discovers the theft; He waits for the evening, then ravages the country with fire; Even Beowulf's home is afire; Beowulf is afraid he has upset God; He has an iron shield made, fireproof against the dragon's breath; he will fight the monster single-handed
06:31 - Line 2354 - Poet mentions the death of Hygelac; Beowulf swam to safety; When Beowulf returned, he refused Queen's offer of throne; So Heardred was made king, with Beowulf's support; Eanmund and Eadgils, nephews of the Swedish king Onela are sheltered by Heardred; Onela therefor kills Heardred, but permits Beowulf to become king; Beowulf avenges Heardred's death by supporting Eadgils, who kills Onela
08:22 - Line 2397 - Beowulf goes with 12 others to see the dragon's barrow; On a headland, Beowulf says a sad farewell to his companions; He recalls his youth at king Hrethel's court; Haethcyn, Hrethel's son, killed his own brother Herebeald; Beowulf recalls the sorrow of Hrethel for the death of Herebeald; Hrethel pines and dies, leaving all to his sons; Then strife between the Swedes and the Geats; Swedes attack Geats, kill Haethcyn; Eofor kills, in revenge, Swedish king Ongentheow; Hygelac gave Beowulf land; Beowulf repaid him with loyal service; Hygelac never needed mercenaries; Beowulf killed Daeghrefn; Beowulf says he will wear armour to fight dragon; His friends should watch from the barrow

Third battle: The Dragon[edit]
Main article: The Dragon (Beowulf)
Beowulf returns home and eventually becomes king of his own people. One day, fifty years after Beowulf's battle with Grendel's mother, a slave steals a golden cup from the lair of a dragon at Earnanæs. When the dragon sees that the cup has been stolen, it leaves its cave in a rage, burning everything in sight. Beowulf and his warriors come to fight the dragon, but Beowulf tells his men that he will fight the dragon alone and that they should wait on the barrow. Beowulf descends to do battle with the dragon, but finds himself outmatched. His men, upon seeing this and fearing for their lives, retreat into the woods. One of his men, Wiglaf, however, in great distress at Beowulf's plight, comes to his aid. The two slay the dragon, but Beowulf is mortally wounded. After Beowulf's death, he is ritually burned on a great pyre in Geatland while his people wail and mourn him, fearing that without him, the Geates are defenseless against attacks from surrounding tribes. Afterwards, a barrow, visible from the sea, is built in his memory. (Beowulf lines 2712–3182).[29] - Summary from Wikipedia

A reading including commentary on my translation of the viking saga collection Heimskringla. This is the eleventh part of the Ynglinga Saga, which is the first saga of Heimskringla. This part covers the the Egill Audsson's death and Ottar Vendel-Crow.
00:00 Introduction
01:19 On Egill Audsson's death
11:01 On Ottar Vendel-Crow
In this video we go into Egil Audsson's strife with the robber-king Tunne and his death during a bull hunt. We also learn of Ottar Vendel-Crow and his dramatic battle with King Frode's Jarls Vött and Faste in Limfjorden.
My background is as a Norwegian, but have I lived in Denmark many years as well, and have travelled extensively in Scandinavia and Europe and so I bring a lot of local knowledge of the places, geography and folkloristic history associated with the saga literature. I have a lifelong interest in nordic history, language and dialects. I think this will bring a lot of interesting commentary to the sagas that especially non-Scandinavians can find interesting and helpful in appreciating the saga literature.
